Mt. Rigi (1,798 m) — Complimentary with Swiss Travel Pass
The dilemma between Mt. Rigi and Mt. Pilatus is a common one, but for us, the choice was clear: Mt. Rigi, fondly referred to as Switzerland's Queen of the Mountains, beckoned us with promises of unparalleled beauty and adventure.
Our journey to Mt. Rigi was as remarkable as the destination itself. We embarked on a scenic boat ride, marveling at the picturesque vistas along the way. Upon reaching our destination, Vitznau, we embarked on a historic train journey, traversing landscapes that seemed straight out of a postcard. The return journey to Luzerne via Weggis' Cable Car added another layer of excitement to our adventure.
And who could forget our exhilarating experience of sledding for the first time amidst the pristine yet steeply scary snow-capped peaks of Mt. Rigi?
Murren (1,650 m) — Included with Swiss Travel Pass
This was a discover-anything day for us. We just wanted to roam around without any plans. Haha! So, Abbey wanted to see the famous Staubbach Waterfall in Lauterbrunnen. On our way back to the train station, we found flocks of people walking towards the cable car. We asked if we needed to pay extra with our Swiss Travel Pass, and they told us that we did not. So, we hopped in!
As for what to do here? Well, I saw people hiking on the snow, but a lot of people stayed in the hotels located on top of the mountains! Woooohooo! Nice, isn't it? And as for us? What did we do there? We simply devoured another delectable cheese fondue against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain vistas.
Matterhorn (4,478 m) — CHF 47.50
The Matterhorn, Switzerland's iconic peak standing proudly as the fifth highest in the country, beckoned to us with its legendary allure. Its towering, triangular silhouette has captivated the hearts and lenses of countless adventurers and photographers alike, including Abbey, who fondly recalls its appearance on her childhood favorite, Toblerone chocolate.
Gazing in awe at the majestic Matterhorn, we couldn't help but marvel at the sheer beauty of nature's masterpiece. Oh, we had our lunch there too!
And so, if pressed to choose just one peak to visit, the answer is unequivocal: Matterhorn. Its timeless appeal and unmatched splendor make it a must-see destination for any adventurer. But the question remains: where will your mountain journey take you?
